I am wondering what to expect next. How long will it be before it is applied etc. This is my first attempt to submit a patch to Python.
Unfortunately, it may take any time between a day and five years, see below.
Also, does anyone know who the main person is for running changes to the curses library I wanted to get guidance for implementing support for family of functions newterm, set_term, reset_term.
The curses module is largely unmaintained; nobody is really responsible for it (my feeling is that it also has fairly few users). Use "svn log" to find out what people have been making changes over time; if the commit messages indicate that they had applied patches from the bug tracker, also try to recognize any regular non-commit contributors.
